Got the back all welded, ground, and painted. The rest of the back will open with the hatch. I've got big dogs, so the more room the better.
Front is welded, but no one should see my welds yet Need to fill a spot on each side of the window. When I first made it, I just put straight edges in, not knowing how big the window would be.

Can't wait until this is done! Very excited. Gonna weld all sorts of stuff next.

Got the 2nd side finished welded. Mostly ground. Still have to fab rear corner for this side. Fighting the rain and wind for grind/weld time. Not having a garage is awesome!

Speaking of wind, the other night it collapsed my super-sturdy support structure I had constructed for the shell to sit on while I worked on it. (see previous photos for support structure) It slightly lifted the cap, blew the rear supports forward, then, as I was running out to it, the wind blew the front suppports out. I managed to catch the front and lower it softer than gravity, but not by much. Only damage was when it blew the roof vent off, and bent the corner of it. My welds may be horribly ugly, but they seem to work
